To speak evil of no man--especially, not of "dignities" and magistrates. no brawlers--"not quarrelsome," not attacking others. gentle--towards those who attack us. Yielding, considerate, not urging one's rights to the uttermost, but forbearing and kindly (see on Phi 4:5). Very different from the innate greediness and spirit of aggression towards others which characterized the Cretans. showing--in acts. all--all possible. meekness--(See on Co2 10:1); the opposite of passionate severity. unto all men--The duty of Christian conduct towards all men is the proper consequence of the universality of God's grace to all men, so often set forth in the pastoral Epistles.
